Abstract: In this article we solve the non-standard situation that arose after publishing our paper “Crustal deformations in the epicentral area of the West Bohemia 2008 earthquake swarm in central Europe” (Schenk et al., 2012). Horálek and Fischer wrote a statement regarding our publication, sent it to specialists interested in research in the West Bohemia swarm area, and questioned the reliability of the seismic data used in our work. Since the statement regarding the reliability of our work was not directly sent to us we are using this journal to return to professional discussion regarding our results. In this paper we review scientific arguments made in their statement and provide review of various studies on West Bohemia tectonics and related seismicity.
